DragonFlyBSD. Standard installation. Are transducers available for the Dragonfly echo sounder to be installed through the hull?
In popular military terminology there is such a concept - Game Changing Weapon. For example, at the beginning of the century you are breeding horses, sharpening swords and planning the logistics of supplying fodder. And then a tank appears, which sends all cavalry science into retirement. Time passes, and at the beginning of the next century some Javelin will nullify the art of tank strategy. This is a “game-changing weapon.” This is how Hi-Fi audio at one time spent a long time building a kingdom with three-story CD transports, until it was bombed with tiny computer audio modules.
Before the very first Audioquest DragonFly, portable DAC/amp combos already existed, but the idea lacked finesse. Either the dimensions are like a pack of washing powder, or external power supply give it up - as if there weren’t enough wires on the table from the laptop, headphones and active speakers. Audioquest DragonFly looked like a flash drive with a mini-jack output. Asynchronous USB, two clocks for frequencies that are multiples of 44.1 and 48 kHz - thanks, Gordon Rankin (famous engineer, founder of Wavelenth Audio, who was the first to introduce asynchronous USB transmission to the world of audio) - everything to the point and nothing superfluous!
The success of the Audioquest concept excited a lot of people. Many users tried to attach their “dragonflies” to smartphones via adapters. It worked - with limited success. The fact is that the same iPhone directly refused to start external device due to proprietary limitations in energy consumption. Therefore, the most stubborn ones went to the end and included USB hubs with power in the scheme so that the system would still work. But, of course, it all didn’t look so appetizing.
The 1.5 Black model is already the third generation of DragonFly, which supports smartphone energy consumption standards. Now, using the Apple Camera Kit or a USB OTG adapter for Android, you can give your dialers and tablets a powerful Hi-Fi upgrade. Let's consider the features of the device in order.
Although they say that DragonFly resembles a flash drive, when you take the 1.5 Black in your hands, you understand that there is something more serious inside: the module weighs just over 20 grams. From previous version 1.2, the new product is easy to distinguish - by its anodized USB connector. In order to reduce consumption, the USB microcontroller was replaced from Texas Instruments TAS1020B to Microchip PIC32MX. For the same purpose, the output voltage was reduced from 1.8 to 1.2 Volts. As further practice has shown, for the vast majority of headphones this value is sufficient.
Audioquest DragonFly switching is extremely laconic - an asynchronous USB connector on one side, and a 3.5 mm mini-jack on the other The Saber DAC model has changed from ESS 9023 to ESS 9010. As in previous models, the volume control in Black 1.5 is analog. The regulator itself is not provided on the case - everything is controlled indirectly, through the volume slider in the computer or gadget. In the more expensive version 1.5 Red, the volume control is already digital, and another DAC with more high performance- ESS 9016, and the 2.1 V output allows you to drive tight 600 ohm headphones.
The device still has a 24-bit/96 kHz ceiling and the corresponding indication on the body: 44.1 kHz - green dragonfly, 48 kHz - blue, 88.2 kHz - amber and 96 kHz - purple. However, the receiver allows you to receive more high frequencies samples that will be automatically downsampled to 96 kHz. By the way, the very presence of a multi-colored display is not a toy, but a very visual option. The fact is that the interface of a computer audio player usually has several signal output options. The default stock sound card, for example, may require high-resolution audio downsampling to 48 kHz, and these player settings will be retained when changing the output to a more progressive receiver. With DragonFly this process is always under control, and you see the true bit depth of the signal entering the DAC. There are no ASIO drivers for DragonFly, but you don’t need to install anything, just plug the device into the connector - and you’re done. With audio programs Windows environment it works using the equivalent WASAPI or Kernel Stream protocols.
A removable cover protects the USB connector, plus a faux leather cover provides additional protection when traveling. Measuring the signal at a level of 0 dB at a frequency of 1 kHz did not allow us to achieve the 1.2 volts declared by the manufacturer. However, for any headphones, excluding high-impedance models, it turns out to be extremely loud. The main thing is that the output impedance of the DragonFly audio output remains well below the 10 ohm mark. To guarantee the absence of frequency response distortions and distortions, the output and load impedances must differ at least five times. Player manufacturers do not indicate this important parameter, and you have to calculate it yourself, focusing on the voltage drop with and without load. For example, in my work laptop the impedance value is 50 Ohms, so when connecting low-impedance armature headphones, the sound is distorted and becomes rough. With DragonFly this mess is eliminated.
Audioquest DragonFly's low output impedance improves compatibility with low-impedance headphones Even a casual listener can tell the difference between the Audioquest sound and the stock laptop audio output and say "wow!" Saber processors are true to themselves even in such tiny implementations. The sound is fast and transparent, every note marks a step: not a single hint of smearing. The midbass jumps like a boxer in the ring, and the stage is the size of space. De facto, a similar archetype today dominates the overwhelming number of implementations on Saber (and there are a lot of them). How do I personally feel about this handwriting? Conflicting feeling.
On the one hand, such a presentation will at least strongly indicate to the neophyte that before this he listened to some kind of junk. This is definitely a DAC you'll want to keep on hand in the field. But still not as the only source in the house! At one time, CD players tried to imitate the sound of LP players, and reviewers somehow sang the allusions to analog sound. But those days seem to be behind us. So today, on acoustic soundtracks performed by Saber, I would like more liveliness of timbres and unity of presentation.
Audioquest DragonFly is able to compete even with desktop computer audio cards DragonFly cannot be called a completely neutral source. It still imposes its agenda in the very upper mids and bass. The sound is perceived by the ear as very pure and dynamic, but the impulse appears and disappears instantly, there is no tangle of after-sounds that form the actual music lover fabric. For modern mainstream genres or some clicks’n’cuts, sources such as Audioquest DragonFly will draw a rhythmic line with the precision of a plotter. But some vinyl rips, especially if there is distortion, will have a hard time: clicks and wheezes will be presented in a forced form. And if when working with headphones these features are not so noticeable, then when connected to a stationary audio system, an experienced ear will be convinced that classic large DACs will still fight.
The Lightning/USB adapter is designed for transferring photos and videos from a digital camera to iPhone and iPad, but in our case it serves as a bridge for connecting an external DAC It is said that Gordon Rankin initially wanted to use Wolfson converters, but then abandoned them. In principle, it’s clear why: the Saber architecture is more promising in terms of upgrades. Starting from the third generation of DragonFly, in the future it will be possible to update the firmware - and there, most likely, sound correction will be possible, DSD support will be added, and maybe MQA. In the meantime, at the end of the day, one more interesting observation.
It seems like everyone already knows about smartphone support for the new DragonFly. But did you know that now even from the antediluvian iPhone Quartet you can output honest high-res audio through a 30-pin connector? I noticed this when, when listening through the Onkyo app, the “dragonfly” changed its color to amber. 88 kHz sampling? Where? It turns out that the software player had an upsampling function, and it obediently doubled the base 44 kHz. Basically, highres in iOS devices It was possible to listen to it before - both through Onkyo and through a FLAC player. But there was little joy from this. It takes up a decent amount of space, and during playback, the built-in iOS audio codecs reduced the stream to 16/44 using the trunking method. That is, they stupidly cut off everything unnecessary. As a result, such a high-cut could sound even worse than a 16/44 file, made according to science with the correct resolution reduction and the dither option turned on.
Surprisingly, using an adapter Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit can even output HD audio from older iPhones to DragonFly Now it doesn’t matter which connector you use in conjunction with the Audioquest DragonFly - Lightning or the 30-pin old man, Apple restrictions They won't harm anything anymore. HD audio will be sent in its original form to an external DAC, and you will be able to appreciate the beauty of Game Changing Weapon far, far from home.

I acquired my first echo sounder quite a long time ago, almost immediately after the boat and motor appeared. I started with the simplest and cheapest b/w piranha from Hummingbird. I didn’t expect anything other than readings of depth and changes in relief from her, and she coped with this with a solid five. For a long time it served me faithfully until it died from moisture getting inside. Then the question arose about buying a new echo sounder. And since my attitude and approach to fishing has changed a lot over the past time, I began to look at more advanced devices. I wanted not just to catch fish, but to better understand why it bites right here and now. See the structure of the bottom, accurately determine the presence of any underwater anomalies (snags, stones, vegetation, etc.), find accumulations of forage fish.
And then the agony of choice began. As always, I had to find something with the best price/quality ratio and within my budget. As a result, the choice fell on the Lowrance Mark-5x DSI echo sounder. Mentally, I was ready for more expensive models, I was considering options for echo sounders with GPS, but after reading advice on the forums, I decided to save money and take a fairly simple model. And I was completely disappointed. Friends, don't step on my rake! If you have the opportunity to take a good color fish finder with built-in GPS, take it and enjoy life. It seems that the people who gave advice on the forums do not understand what they are talking about. Below I will go point by point and show why this is so, using the example of my new color Raymarine Dragonfly 6 with a built-in GPS receiver.
Color screen
Much better and more informative than black and white. I have repeatedly seen statements that on a bright sunny day the image on the color screen of the echo sounder is overexposed, but not on the black and white one. Maybe for some old echo sounders this was true, but now they make excellent color screens that are not exposed to sunlight, and the information content of a color screen is much higher. Below is a photo from my fish finder on a sunny day. I specifically chose a photo with a fish at the bottom. And at the end of the article there will be a video taken from an echo sounder in sunny weather, you will see for yourself how perfectly everything is visible, and from any angle to the echo sounder screen.
Screen size
Everything is clear here - the more the better. Dragonfly 6 has a 5.7-inch screen. At first I was worried that the echo sounder might be too big for a PVC boat of size 340, but no, there are no problems with the size, you could take 7 inches. In terms of dimensions, Dragonfly 6 is almost no different from my Mark-5x DSI lorik with a black and white screen. But even a small color screen is still better than a large black and white one, so when choosing between a 5-inch b/w screen and a 4-inch color screen, choose color.
Built-in GPS
I have come across arguments that it is supposedly better to have a separate GPS device than to overpay for an echo sounder with built-in GPS. If you are going to go mushroom picking, then do so. But when fishing, the built-in GPS is an incredibly convenient thing. You can go to a previously marked point without any problems with a conventional navigator, but you can only mark a promising point on the traversed terrain if GPS is built into the echo sounder. How many times has it happened to me - while searching for places or moving, I see a promising place on the echo sounder (a small navel, a snag, a hole), I stop, turn around and cannot find it a second time. If the echo sounder has a built-in GPS receiver, you can forget about this problem.
Nutrition
The first time I used the Lowrance Mark-5x DSI, I was shocked at how it ate up the battery. The food that was enough for me for half a season with piranha was gone in less than a full day of fishing with lorik. When switching to Dragonfly 6 I expected something the same, but everything worked out and I use the same li-ion battery at 5 ampere hours, it lasts me a full day of fishing, just like it was with Lawrence. Subjectively, I did not notice any difference in consumption, although the dragonfly has a color screen bigger size, GPS and a more advanced echolocation system.
The conclusion is this. As soon as you take a fish finder with fashionable scanning systems like dsi, downVu, DownVision, etc. cook powerful battery. Regardless of the size and color of the screen, the echo sounder will consume a lot of energy.
Now about the Raymarine Dragonfly 6 echo sounder itself
The characteristics are as follows
- Screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches (14.5 cm), 640x480 pixels.
- Bright LED lighting with economical energy consumption.
- CHIRP DownVision™ structural echo sounder.
- Fishfinding CHIRP echo sounder.
- Built-in GPS receiver.
The equipment is standard - a screen, a rotating screen mount, a sensor, a sensor mount and all sorts of wiring, clamps, and screws. Everything you need is there, nothing superfluous, just like other echo sounders I had before. 
The very impressive size of the sensor immediately attracts attention. It’s strange at first, but then you realize that this doesn’t create any problems. But the sensor is mounted with a safety system that folds back upon impact. The force at which the sensor tilts can be adjusted with a bolt. At first, the sensor flew off even when the boat was gliding, so I had to tighten the adjusting bolt a little.
First impressions after switching on
- Stunning screen and picture. The screen shines in any sun, I already wrote about this.
- Simple and intuitive interface. Just 3 buttons and a joystick, easy to figure out at random. Before using it for the first time, I scanned the instructions quickly and diagonally. I only remember which button to change the screen modes.
- The large screen allows you to fully display simultaneously two of the three possible operating modes of the echo sounder - navigator, fish finder echo sounder, structural echo sounder.
I spent the first two fishing trips simply enjoying the pictures and periodically lazily poking at the echo sounder settings. After this, the understanding came that it was still worth reading the instructions in order to systematize knowledge and understand all the capabilities of this miracle device.
So, here are the top useful functions and settings of the echo sounder that I managed to evaluate during the first month and a half of use.
1. Mark point of interest in the navigator from the echo sounder mode. Let’s say we are looking for promising places, we see an interesting picture on the screen - a local hole up to 7 meters with a gentle terrain of 4-5 meters, we see fish and an area with a hard bottom at the entrance to the hole. The hardness of the bottom can be judged by the thickness of the red line - the thinner it is, the harder the soil at the bottom. By the way, an attentive angler will definitely notice that the fish are concentrated precisely in that part of the hole where the bottom is harder.
Okay, let's return to the main thing - we have already missed the hole and want to quickly enter its location into the memory of the echo sounder. To do this, press in any direction on the central control joystick, the screen scrolling will stop and a cross will appear on it, which can be positioned with the same joystick to any point on the screen. We move the cross to our hole, press the joystick button and enter the point into the echo sounder’s memory. Ready. We can go further in search of promising places, or we can conveniently position ourselves next to the marked point and fish the hole.
2. Depth lines. They are disabled by default. In the photo above they are visible in the form of horizontal dotted stripes. They make it very convenient to assess changes in terrain. In the photo there is a hole from 4.5 to 7 meters; without lines it would be much more difficult to assess the difference in depth. To enable them in the fish finder application menu, select Display Options, then Depth Lines.
3. Direction of movement. This is an additional green line that shows the direction of your boat. It helps a lot to more accurately approach the previously marked point. To enable this option, in the map application menu, select Map Settings, COG Heading Vector.
4. Changing the position of the vessel on the screen. By default, the fish finder shows your location in the center of the screen. This is not very convenient, because... When we move on a boat, we want to see what is ahead along the course of movement, and not behind and to the sides. It is this mode that is turned on in my echo sounder, which is why in the photo above you see the boat icon in the upper left corner, and not in the center of the map. To turn on the map application menu, select Map Settings, Vessel Position, Offset.
5. Record the route. Interesting feature, which displays the route traveled with a line on the screen, and also writes depth readings into the device’s memory for later retrieval. The route display function can be very useful on a reservoir, when orientation on the water is difficult, and on the echo sounder screen we see places where we have already passed. To enable route recording, select Navigation and Start route recording from the map menu.
5. Surface cleanliness. Almost all fish finders have this setting; it removes noise at the top of the screen near the water surface. In my opinion, it makes sense to turn it on only at a depth of less than two meters. If the depth is greater, then these lines at the top do not interfere in any way. Enabled by default auto mode, which corresponds to a 20% noise suppression level, so if you set manual mode, then set the level to about 40%, this will remove interference from the surface well.
Here are the main things that I found interesting after a month and a half of using this fish finder. I already understand that I spent most of my time on the settings of the GPS receiver, and not on the different modes of the echo sounder. This is probably because before I didn’t have a navigator for fishing at all, but I did have echo sounders, and their picture simply cannot be compared with what the Dragonfly shows.
Photos and videos of fish on an echo sounder
In the video I walk over a hole in which a bunch of white fish have already gathered before wintering. The pit is quite narrow, 5-6 meters deep. At the 15th second you can see how the echo sounder loses the real bottom due to the very high density of fish.
Bottom line
A device such as the Raymarine Dragonfly 6 will become an indispensable assistant primarily when fishing on a reservoir. Built-in GPS, excellent fish-finding and structure modes of the echo sounder will help you better navigate a vast expanse of water, find accumulations of fish and some interesting bottom anomalies. When fishing on the river, this is all, of course, also very useful features, but on extreme fishing trips I caught myself thinking that I spent much more time looking at the echo sounder screen than looking around. But the river, unlike the reservoir, is perfectly readable simply with the eyes. Having positioned myself at a point using the echo sounder and looking around, I understand that I have stood on an excellent promising place, but I would have stood on it anyway, even without such a smart device.
IN technical specifications a maximum depth of 183 meters is indicated, but it is important to remember that this parameter is influenced by many factors, including the type of water (fresh or salty), thermoclines and the content of various gases in the water column, the type of bottom surface (harder types of soil reflect signals better), and also the speed of the vessel and the quality of installation of the emitter sensor.
When conducting tests in fresh water Under normal conditions, depth readings of 213 meters were achieved in both echolocation modes. When conducting tests in salt water, depth readings reached 271 meters in fishfinder echo sounder mode, and more than 110 meters in DownVision mode.
What is the minimum operating depth for an echo sounder?
The minimum depth is 0.6 meters.
Why is the depth image in DownVision mode different from the sonar mode?
When two modes are enabled simultaneously on one screen, the depth value is taken from the fishfinder mode, which has a wider beam angle in the stern/bow direction than the DownVision mode.
When the depth changes rapidly, the fishfinder beam tracks this change more consistently than the DownVision beam.
Can my fish finder cause interference with other fish finders?
Yes, interference is possible if the frequency spectrum of the CHIRP echo sounder radiation coincides with the radiation frequencies of another echo sounder.
Is it possible to turn off the echo sounder radiation?
Yes, the emission of signals can be turned off.
The enable/disable item is located in the menu, which is opened by briefly pressing the echo sounder power button.
How fast can you go in DownVision mode?
The system has been tested at speeds up to 45 knots (83 km/h), but it is important to remember that the ability of a fish finder to operate at high speeds depends significantly on the installation of the transducer.
Are the Dragonfly transducers available for through-hull mounting?
Yes, they are released.
Depending on the type of vessel hull, you can install a plastic through sensor CPT-70, or a bronze through sensor CPT-80.
What is the length of the Dragonfly sonar transducer cable?
The transom sensor CPT-60 has a cable length of 6 meters.
Sensors installed through the housing CPT-70 and CPT-80 have a cable of 10 meters.
If necessary, you can use an additional 4 meter extension cable (article A80224).
What needs to be done to prevent the transom sensor from spontaneously jumping out of the mount?
Adjust the sensor retention in the mount using a special screw.
How do I update the software on my Dragonfly fish finder?
To update software in the Dragonfly echo sounder you will need a blank MicroSD or MicroSDHC memory card with a capacity of at least 1GB (and no more than 32GB).
Download the archive from latest version software, located on the website www.raymarine.com in the section Service&Support / Software Updates / Dragonfly, or follow the link.
Attention! Before updating the software, make sure that the echo sounder is connected to a reliable power source and there is absolutely no chance of it accidentally turning off!
- 1. Unpack all the files in the archive and copy them to the root directory of the prepared memory card.
- 2. Turn off the fish finder.
- 3. Insert a memory card into the device.
- 4. Turn on the power to the fish finder.
- 5. The update process will start automatically. The procedure takes some time, during which the echo sounder cannot be disconnected from the power source.
- 6. After the update process is completed, the device will turn off on its own.
- 7. Once the update process is complete, remove the memory card from the display.
- 8. Turn on the echo sounder.
- 9. When a navigation safety warning message appears on the screen, the current software version is displayed in numbers in the lower right corner of this message.
What is the maximum capacity of memory cards supported in the fish finder?
Any memory cards in MicroSD and MicroSDHC formats up to 32GB.
Is it possible to connect other devices to the Dragonfly echo sounder?
The Dragonfly echo sounder chartplotter is a functionally complete device and does not have the ability to integrate with other devices.
What is the power consumption of Dragonfly fish finders?
Dragonfly 6: 8W with full backlight; 4.5W in standby mode.
Dragonfly 7: 9.4W with full backlight; 4.8W in standby mode.
Can the Dragonfly echo sounder operate on 24V power?
No, the echo sounder is designed to be powered only from a 12V network direct current(range from 10.2V to 16.6V).
How do I restore my Dragonfly fish finder to factory settings?
You can reset the echo sounder in two ways: software, using the echo sounder menu, and using special combination buttons
Attention! The procedure of resetting the device to factory settings deletes ALL settings and saved points and tracks from the echo sounder memory!
In " Tools and Setup"You need to go to the item " System Parameters", then the item " Maintenance».
« Reset» – ensures that only the echo sounder settings are reset;
« Reset settings and data» – sets all factory settings in the device and clears the echo sounder memory (all saved points and tracks will be deleted).
Push button reset:
